“I want to give you guys kudos for your
great Facebook feed! I peruse it constantly
and learn something new every time. For
example, we’re currently discussing whether
the Lower Elementary Boys’ educator should
be male or female and some parents have
expressed concern about having a male in the
classroom all day with the boys. What should
come up in my Facebook feed today? Cameras. For both security and nachas reasons.”

WhatsApp Threads
We created a Whatsapp thread for each student, including the child’s teachers, parents, Morah
Rivkah, and our behavioral scientist Dr. Yitzchak Chakiris. These groups were used throughout
the year to share educational milestones and nachas moments, track progress, and outline individual behavior plans for each child. These Whatsapp threads were instrumental in nurturing
partnerships with our parents and collecting data in how to best educate our children.

“Thank you so much for sending me this amazing video, it totally made my day! I had no clue he could read that-- I watched it ten times!”
